Most ignorant comment I heard was when I bitched about rubberneckers staring at an accident scene and a woman said she always looked to see if the victom was a relative. My return: "If I crashed and had the choice of who to see looking down at me, I would pick a paramedic over my mother every day of the week and twice on Sunday!" Man! Was she ever pissed!

 

Couple older guys on new Ultras: "Is that a Sportster?"

Me: (confused) "Uhh.. No.... '93 Lowrider."

Them: "Oh. Why's the engine look different than regular Harleys?"

Me: You should see a knuckle

Them: ...??

 

hahahahaha...wait...crap...that's not funny!

 

Does she have/ride a Goldwing?

 

a few years ago my idiot cousin decided to get into riding.

picked up a nice used fatboy, never got his license, never really bothered learning how to ride.

took off one day and didn't make it a half mile from my house, went down in an intersection.

he calls me and my dad and we run up there to help him out. we get there, push the bike into an auto body shop and cover it, and about 30 seconds later the cops show up. i guess someone saw him go down and called 911.

my dad and i are standing there in jeans and sweatshirts and my cousin is in the middle of us in chaps, leather jacket, HD skul cap, boots, bleeding from a scrape on his forehead and clutching his arm from sliding.

cop asks "someone here was on a bike?"

we all just said nope, got in my car and left.

 

another one.

i hop on my bike outside a diner, fire it up and i'm putting on my helmet.

a guy walks out of the diner and goes "oh, is that yours?"

i said "nope." kicked it into gear and rode away.

i like to do that when people ask me how much it costs, too.

"how much you pay for that?"

"this? oh this bike isn't mine. don't tell anyone"

 

got one from today, stopped into my landlords place to pay the rent and one of the office workers standign outside when i pulled int othe lot, "wow your bike is as loud as a harley". as im kick starting it to leave "thats what a 99 or 2000 model?" damn near cracked up laughing

 

I was talking to this kid once, maybe 22-23, and he said Harleys were okay, but he didn't like the way that they copied the looks of the Japanese motorcycles. After swallowing the urge to slap him, I calmly informed him that that "look" he was referring to has been a Harley staple since the 30's. He honestly did not know.

 

I get asked all the time when I'm going to get my "exhaust fixed. Does that tape really help to hold it together?" (refer to picture).

 

This one time at a gas station, I pull in, hop off, start filling up. Some guy filling a pickup truck across the way from me is staring and staring. Finally he gives the "upper nod" and asks, "That a motorcycle?"

I said, "Yep."

He nods, drives away.
